Hobbies & Interests
Andrew and Heather love bushwalking, trekking and camping. They have almost fulfilled their goal of driving and camping around every major section of Australia (only the east Kimberley to go!). Their latest trekking aspiration is to live to tell the tale of how they walked the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea while in their fifties. Andrew relaxes by watching quirky British detective series on TV.
